Kids & Students

We serve families by helping the next generation create lasting relationships with God through His Word.

Kids

In Northview Kids, our goal is to make sure every child is known. We want to connect children and families in lasting relationships with God through His Word and age-appropriate services. We offer programs for children ages birth through fourth grade at all campuses for every Weekend Service.

When you arrive on campus for your first visit, please stop by our first-time guest information station. We have cheerful greeters ready to meet your family and quickly get all the necessary information to get your child registered for Northview Kids.

What’s the check-in process like?

When you arrive at Northview, you can sign in at any check-in computer located in the Lobby or in the Northview Kids wing. Simply search by your last name and then click on your family. Select the name of your child, then the Northview Kids logo, to be sure your child gets assigned to his or her correct classroom. You and your child will receive nametags and an ID number tag. Your child will not be released from his or her classroom until we receive the matching ID number tag back from you at pick up.

Is the environment safe?

All Northview Kids entrances are locked during service and only Staff or Team Members are allowed in the space during service. Our volunteers must complete a volunteer application, pass a background check and submit references. For your child's safety, our volunteers never serve alone. Our rooms have open layouts so children are always in view, no matter where they are.

What if Northview Kids needs to contact me during the service?

During check-in, we will either get your cell phone number, or your child’s ID number will flash on our Auditorium screens. Trust us, we can catch your attention.

Is the curriculum the same for all services?

Yes. It is our desire to provide a creative, safe and exciting experience for every child. Having consistent programming at each service helps us reach that goal and gives our volunteers a common focus, vision and passion.

GraceWorks Special Needs Ministry ministers to families at Northview who have children with special needs or who are medically fragile. Our mission is to teach kids with special needs about Jesus, to create an environment where all children are accepted and loved, and to develop relationships with children with special needs and their families.

We offer an inclusion ministry at all of our campuses. Children can be paired with a buddy or “GraceGiver” and given extra support in their typical classrooms during weekend services.

We realize that every week matters in the life of our kids. That’s why we have developed a family plan to help you make the most of each moment; we call this the Family Framework. The Family Framework is filled with activities and events for families with children ages birth through 18. Learn more about Family Framework.

Students

5-6th grade: There is fun, worship, teaching and a chance to meet new people. Students are placed in a Life Group based on their grade and gender. Plus, we have breakfast! Hope to see you there!

7-12th grade: Each student will experience a fun environment, engage in worship, listen to a message specifically geared towards students, and join a group of other students to learn more about God. We don’t believe church should be boring, and we try to prove that each week. You won’t want to miss Sunday nights!

Come into the main entrance of the campus and look for the Northview Students room. Your student will be welcomed well by adults and students who will make sure they’re assimilated to the environment with ease.

Is the curriculum the same for all services?

The curriculum is written by our staff of student pastors to fit the needs of our specific students who attend Northview Students. The same message is shared live at all services at all campuses.

What resources do you have for parenting?

Your campus student pastor is happy to meet with you to talk about your specific parenting needs. There is also a Family Resource Wall at every campus to support you in your parenting journey. The Family Framework is another way we support parents and families here at Northview.

What does a typical night look like?

We start off with free time used for group games and hanging with other students and volunteer adult leaders. Then we move into a large-group session with student-led worship and a lesson relevant to teenage life.

What does the cost for Life Groups go toward?

The cost goes toward small-group materials and food and supplies for the kickoff and year-end parties. A t-shirt is also included!

Do volunteers have a background check?

Yes, we run a background check on all volunteers who work with students and kids.

Life Groups are environments where students can openly discuss the issues they are facing with other students in their same grade and same gender. 7th- through 12th-grade students meet in Life Groups during the school year. 5-6th grade students meet every week.

Our goal for these small groups is to create a place where relationships can be established and deepened, but also where God’s truth can be proclaimed.

The Network Special Needs Ministry serves 5th- through 12th-grade students with special needs who attend Northview Students services. Our mission is to teach students with special needs about Jesus and to create an environment where all students are accepted and loved.

We offer an inclusion ministry at all of our campuses. Students can be paired with, or supervised by, a Network Team Member during student ministry events and services.

We realize that every week matters in the life of our kids. That’s why we have developed a family plan to help you make the most of each moment; we call this the Family Framework. The Family Framework is filled with activities and events for families with children ages birth through 18. Learn more about Family Framework.

Pathways Learning Academy

Hosted at the Binford Campus, Pathways Learning Academy is a 21st century preschool where our STEAM curriculum brings the world into every classroom. Here, your child will discover integrated, hands-on learning experiences in Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Math.

We offer infant and toddler care, Preschool and Pre-K, and before- and after-school clubs for school-age students. With our Aware, Care, & Share™ program, teachers get to know each child so they can plan personalized learning experiences to help develop academic and life skills. Then, we share children’s progress with families through Portfolios and Conferences.
